This multiple-reel subject will charm, not alone because of pretty settings, but also on account of the quality of its photography and its finished appearance. The acting is good. There are several strong scenes in which the suspense is marked. The spectacular feature is an explosion in a grotto, in which two pillars of rock fall on the smuggler who is trying to force a marriage between himself and the daughter of a patriot against whom he possesses incriminating evidence of a conspiracy. - The Moving Picture World, June 21, 1913
